By EDWARD W. PICKARD A T LAST President Coolidge lias rid himself and his administra tion of the incubus of Attorney Gen eral Daugherty. Lust Thursday the President in writing asked the resigna tion of Daugherty from the cabinet. The resignation was received at the White House next morning and was immediately accepted. It went into effect at once. Mr. Cpplidge's Immediate reason for requesting Daugherty to get out was the position the latter had taken in refusing to open the confidential files of the Department of Jiistice to the Brookhi^rt fhvestigntlng, committee. Daugherty made good in Ids expressed determination not to leave the cab inet unless the President directly asked . him to do so. Now he and his supporters feel that he has not been fairly treated, in that the investiga tion into his conduct lias not iieen completed. ' . « ‘ A L JENNINGS, evangelist, politi cian and former train robber, presented to the senate oil committee his promised “whale of a story." It was to the effect that- in V 19L’(I the late Jake Hainan, then Republican national committeeman from Oklahoma, told him that Harding was to be nominated for president and that it had cost Harpon $1,000,000. ’He said that $2"»0,- 000 of this was given to the late Sen ator Penrose of Pennsylvania and $25,000 to Will Hays. Huuion told him, continued. Jennings, that lie was to be made secretary of the interior and was to share In public lands. However, he was killed soon after the election. Jennings also quoted Hamon as hav ing said that with the money lie would make lie eventually would become president of the United Stated. “Wasn’t Hamon for Wood at tin start?" asked Senator Uursuni. • "He never liked Wood," Jennings replied. ‘‘He said Wood was too much impregnated witli the d—d fool hVn- esty of Theodore Roosevelt. Itoxie Stinson told the senate com mittee- investigating Attorney General Daugherty a lot more alleged facts damaging to the recitation of him and his iissoclates, and some of them were confirmed from jitlier sources. Her most sensational story was about a "$33,(XX),(KX).t>AA stock deni" carried out in the'fa 11 i6f^Ku22 by five men of na tional prominence, whom she declined, for the time being, to name. She said Daugherty and Jess Smith, her di vorced husband, were sore because they were not in on. it. This alleged story was so vague that It was re garded generally as’ fanciful. Harry Sinclair's refusal to answer any njore questions of the Teapot Dome committee was reported to the senate and that body, by a vote of 72 to 1, decided to turn the matter over to the federal grand jury. The ques tion is me of the constitutional limi tations of the powers of congress, and it will ultimately be carried to the Supreme court for decision. C. C. Chase, son-ln-lnw of Albert Fall, also refused to testify, and ns he held the position of collector of customs at El Paso the senate vbted for his impeach ment for conspiracy by the house.

J UST as plans for the peaceful set tlement of the reparations and other post-war troubles of Europe were beginning to move steadily toward accomplishment, M. Lasteyrle, French minister of finance, ‘‘pulled a boner" last Wednesday and compelled Premier Poincare and his cabinet to resign. There was considerable dis may in diplomatic circles, but this was allayed when M. Poincare, after con sulting the presidents of the senate and chamber of deputies, yielded to- the request of President MHlcrund and consented to form a new ministry. The Incident, after all, turned out ad vantageously, for the premier was en abled to get rid of several ministers whose unpopularity lias hampered him. Lasteyric's failure to control the financial situation had made him the object of frequent attacks, and when on Wednesday he demanded an imme diate vote by the deputies on the gov ernment’s pension bill the chamber sent it to a committee for investiga tion. Lasteyrie thereupon called for a vote of confidence—a Parliamentary blunder—and this was refused, 2G4 to 271. The resignation of the cabinet followed as a matter of course. Poin care, however, felt that lie must retain the reins of government until the re- Denmark. —The Sojourner Poultry farm in Denmark is being operated on a big scale and by the end of, the summer this farm will have 5,000 lay ing hens: There are now 3,000. This farm is equipped with three 100 foot laying Jiouses, 25 smaller colony hous es, besides ten acres divided into feed ing yards. The poultry farm is situated on a 35 acre tract just outside of Denmark proper. The hatchery is located in the heart of the^town of Denmark, in thr business section, where it is easily accessible to ship the chicks by all express companies and postoffice. Three large incubators, which are operated by electricity, have a total capacity of 20,000 eggs and each week 5,000 baby chicks are hatched from this modern plant. The Sojourner Poultry farm speci alizes in the Paish 265 to 300 egg strain White Leghorns and sells eggs for hatching to customers all over the United States. Baby chicks, broilers and laying hens have been sold to re mote points. The poultry farm has made arrangements by which it can draw Rhode Island Red eggs from three different farms of high repute and standing and this farm * also hatches and sells baby chicks from these eggs. Thi£ concert has been remarkably successful, having built the business tip from a very small be ginning about three years ago. In a very short time this poultry fartn is expected to be one of the largest in the south. ^ j 1 ■; r* ,i- • ‘tUin'iVii ——• Social Wo title r« Gather in May.

There fore he undertook the formation of a new cabinet.
